NATURE'S STARSHIPS. I. OBSERVED ABUNDANCES AND RELATIVE FREQUENCIES OF AMINO ACIDS IN METEORITES [PDF]
, 2014 The class of meteorites called carbonaceous chondrites are examples of material from the solar system which have been relatively unchanged from the time of their initial formation.

Meteorites: Messengers from the Early Solar System
CHIMIA, 2010 Meteorites are fragments from solar system bodies, dominantly asteroids. A small fraction is derived from the Moon and from Mars. These rocks tell a rich history of the early solar system and range from solids little changed since the earliest ...

Young asteroidal fluid activity revealed by absolute age from apatite in carbonaceous chondrite
Nature Communications, 2016 Chondritic meteorites formed in the early solar system and may tell us about primary processes at that time. Here, Zhang et al. report an absolute 207Pb/206Pb isochron age (4,450±50 Ma) of apatite from a carbonaceous chondrite constraining timing of ...

The Origin and Physico-Chemical Properties of Some Unusual Earth Rock Fragments
Applied Sciences, 2022 In this paper, several researches were undertaken related to a violent phenomenon, characterized by a sonic boom, felt on an area of at least 500 km2, shortly followed by the fall of rock fragments that were then recovered from the ground.

The effect of aqueous alteration and metamorphism in the survival of presolar silicate grains in chondrites [PDF]
, 2008 Relatively small amounts (typically between 2-200 parts per million) of presolar grains have been preserved in the matrices of chondritic meteorites.
